Mid-Atlantic Charter Itineraries: Maryland & Virginia
The Mid-Atlantic Charter Itineraries focus on the states of Maryland and Virginia and the Chesapeake Bay shared by both states. The yacht chartering season is between late spring into early fall, and there are a few motor yachts based in Annapolis, Maryland. Also, many yachts will do one-way charters during their repositioning to New England and on the return.
Maryland
The Chesapeake Bay stretches from Havre de Grace, Maryland, to Virginia Beach, Virginia. There are more than 200 miles of cruising ground with close to one hundred estuaries.
Baltimore
Maryland’s largest city is Baltimore, on the Patapsco River, about two-thirds of the way up the Chesapeake Bay. Here, see the Inner Harbor on the city’s waterfront. Tour Fort McHenry National Monument, where Francis Scott Key (1779 – 1843) wrote The Star-Spangled Banner. Camden Yards, home of the Baltimore Orioles, is within walking distance of the Inner Harbor.
Annapolis
Visit Annapolis, the capital city of Maryland and the yachting center of the state. It is also home to the U.S. Naval Academy. The Academy, a National Historic Landmark, has been a part of Annapolis since 1845.
